Size of the Problem: Dinosaur Birthday Party (storybook 9 of 10)
Celebrate Jesse’s birthday with his pals and all their dinosaur friends in storybook 9 of the We Thinkers! Vol. 2 social emotional learning curriculum for ages 4-7. It’s Jesse’s big day, and everyone is so excited to share frosted cake, ice cream, fun games, and gifts. But, when the dinosaurs of all sizes come over, there are always problems! The friends learn that problems and their reactions to the problems come in small, medium, and large sizes—just like dinosaurs—and that it’s important and expected to match your reaction to the size of the problem to help everyone solve the problem. Even when drinks get spilled, cake chomped, and presents squashed, Jesse, Ellie, Molly, and Evan learn how to size up the problem with the expected reaction so that everyone can figure out how to still have a great day! Continue building on this important social concept with the most abstract of all concepts in storybook 10, which aligns with the corresponding teaching unit within the related curriculum. Best practice:  teach these concepts in order, starting with storybook 1 of 10 while utilizing the corresponding curriculum.
